Frequently asked questions about the product: Silver plated wire

Q: Do you know what 24 gauge (American sizing) is?
A: 24 gauge is around 0.6mm thick.

Q: Hi, Are all your metal wire and findings lead and nickel free? Thanks!
A: All of our findings that are meant to be worn in contact with the skin conform to the EU nickel directives definition of low nickel. To be described as low nickel products intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin must release nickel at a rate of less than 0.5 micro grams to per square centimetre per week and post assemblies which are inserted into pierced ears and other pierced parts of the human body must release nickel at a rate of less than 0.2 micro grams to per square centimetre per week. You can find lots of useful information about Nickel (and other metals) at: www.thelaboratory.co.uk/nickel.html Nickel free is another definition, it doesn't mean an item is free of all traces of nickel it just classifies items that release nickel at a different rate. All our findings are also low lead.

Q: Hi, I would like some wire to weave with, can you recommend something that will make my finished cloth slightly bendable but also washable? Many thanks Nicky
A: I don't think that any of the wire we sell would be suitable for washing, even hand washing. You'd want a metal based wire for weaving if you want it to bend and hold its shape but then the problem would be rusting and tarnishing in contact with water.

Q: I'm a novice at jewellery making and wonder if this is the right stuff to make earring hoops (with beads on), or do you supply ready made hoops?
A: We have some ready made easy to use hoops at: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Hanging-hoop-small/bo4058

Q: Is your spw non-tarnish?
A: Not specifically, though it's a very popular product and we haven't had complaints about tarnishing as far as I'm aware.

Q: Shall you be getting square wire as many designs need this. I see beadalon are producing it now.
A: I don't think we're planning on adding square wire to our range at the moment but I have seen it for sale on other sites. If we get lots of enquiries about it then we'll try it out so anyone else that's interested please let me know!

Q: which of the silver wires could i use for hanging small glass baubles on my xmas tree?
A: Try the 0.4mm, it's really easy to bend and twist with your fingers but strong enough to hold up heavy items.
